  • 1.  Pulling DB2 image from icr.io super slow

    Posted Wed July 03, 2024 08:55 AM

    Hello,

    I want to run the DB2 container on my local machine.

    Unfortunately the mirror that the image is hosted on (icr.io) is super slow.

    Is this a regional problem?

    Can someone try to run the following command and check if pulling is slow aswell?

    docker run icr.io/db2_community/db2

    Thank you very much,

    Michael

    Hi Michael,
    I had the same experience a few weeks ago. The pull of 11.5.8 is successfully completed within a few minutes via hub.docker.com.
    The pull of 11.5.9 via the IBM Container Registry took one or several hours.
    This is unacceptable and frustrating...

    I've already reported this to IBM through my channels.

    The idea of ​​bringing IBM Db2 to universities and students using Docker is great. But if a simple pull (size << 10Gb) is not successful in a few minutes, it's difficult to get Db2 to students/universities.

    Best regards
    Gerhard

    Hi Gerhard,

    thank you for confirming the issue and reporting it through your IBM channels. 

    It's very unfortunate because we are starting a new project and I wanted to use the docker image for local development. 

    Hopefully IBM will do something about it.

    Best regards,
    Michael

    Tried it again today. 

    Pull is still painfully slow...

    Can someone from IBM atleast acknowledge the issue?

    @Michael Volz Thanks for raising this. The DB2 reached out to my team who own the ICR registry and we have made a change that will have hopefully improved performance for you.  I could not recreate the level of slowness you saw from my location in the UK, but did have seen a improvement on the 4 minutes average down to 2 minutes from my location after the change.

    Please could you retest and let us know 

    Kind Regards 

    Jack Baines

    Hello @Jack Baines,

    tested it right now and its very fast now (completed the pull in 3-4 minutes).

    Thank you very much!
